Format error I have a Samsung digimax A40 camera. I 've just purchased a Lexar 4gb SDHC card. When I've tried to format the card for use, the screen comes up initially with "card error", then a screen to format - yes/no. When I press on yes, it takes a few moments and then comes up with Format Error, and turns itself off. Any suggestions on how to overcome this? We are heading away on holiday soon and wanted a bigger sd card as I currently only have a 256mb card in it. Thanks, Tracey.

I don't believe the camera can handle a card of that size. I believe the camera only supports up to 512MB cards, anything above that is not guaranteed. \015\012\015\012 ...

Installing a Sandisk 4GB memory card in my Samsung Digimax 130 camera produces an alert "card error" on the LCD display. Can I fix that? Connecting to my PC's USB port doesn't allow me to take photos or format the card, either. I get the "card error" alert no matter how I configure my connections to the camera or a card reader.

Format Error I have a SDSC-W55 with a 2GB SanDisk memory card. On a recent vacation, the camera just stopped taking pictures and displayed FORMAT ERROR on the screen. The card was half full and the battery had sufficient charge. I was initially able to display the pictures I took so I stopped using the camera. Now I cannot display any pictures at all. The camera displays the same error. My PC will not recognize the memory card. If I pull the card, the camera and PC works fine with the inter

I removed the memory card from my casio exilim ex-z75 while it was still on, and now get "card error" when I turn it on (if it even goes on). I've tried a PNY 2GB SD card, and both a 64MB and a 2GB Sandisk card...still come up with the "Card Error" screen. It won't let me Format the Cards, I've removed the batt and cards. It only works when there is no card in there at all.

Card Error None of my 3 memory cards are being accepted by my camera all of a sudden. I get a Card Full message, but when I try to view the images, the screen reads No Images. I've tried to format the cards again, but get a Card Error message. I've updated my firmware. The manual doesn't offer any suggestions for this error that I seem able to repair on my own. Any ideas?

If you are using a card reader for transfer to the computer, it is possible that you are corrupting your memory cards by accident (you have to make sure to eject the cards before removing them from the card reader). Try a new card and see if it will ...

Unfortunately, you can't. The D53 works with MMC and SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible and will not work. Since this is a hardware issue, it is not something that can be c ...

My Samsung Digimax A7 camera will not load memory cards. I insert a card and then turn on the device, which prompts a format for the card then I hit yes, the camera thinks for awhile then just turns off. When the camera is turned back on the card is not formatted. I have two different cards I have tried one is a SanDisk Ultra 4GB 15mb/s, and an SanDisk SDHC Card 8GB.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

The Digimax A7 may not be compatible with "High Capacity" SD Cards (SDHC). If this is the case you will need to locate an SD card that is 2GB or less in size as anything larger than this is a high capacity card. ...
